Two roses

You gave two roses...
Have never taken any flower,
from anyone... ever
Didn’t know what to say,
Didn’t know what not to say...
Didn’t know how to take...
Have never taken any flower,
from anyone... ever

Not even the lovely wild ones...
Brought by me only and
left on the window carelessly...
But
Put near my purse,
by Him, with so much care...
Had kept in the purse,
with lots of care...
But
Didn’t know what to say,
Didn’t know what not to say...
Didn’t know how to take...
Have never taken any flower,
from anyone... ever
So dropped them,
on the way back...
Back in the wild,
where they belonged...

But
Today
As a small boy passed us,
with bunches to sell...
Flower lover I am,
that you knew...
You were pulling my leg and
I joked for ten thousand and twenty two...
But
You didn’t know the difference
bought me two roses,
red, not even yellow...
Didn’t know what to say,
Didn’t know what not to say...
Didn’t know how to take...
Have never taken any flower,
from anyone... ever
took them, only coz
You didn’t know the difference...
But
a condition pre-said...
Would have preferred,
them to be yellow...
